Puzzling over the Comp() function

Why are the following two statements not equivalent?
I have a Sim with the following statements:

res = Comp(v,"Percentile!", 1, 1, "AAPL;MSFT;IBM"); // Version A (the symbol list is just for demonstration)
SetSimLongRank(res);

This works as intended. But when I change it to:

res = Comp(v,"Percentile!"); //Version B

the results are completely different.
The symbol list for the sim is also AAPL;MSFT;IBM

Why are the results different?

Thanks!

I have made few tests and it works as expected. You should probably send me the whole formula you have tested.
If you want, you can send that to support [at] quantshare [dot] com.
